The individual who could successfully com

liarly appropriate to any and every indi-
vidual idea would be providential bene-
factor to the human race, which annually
puzzles its head over this subject A SOU

or merit, as it is an evidence of love, affec-
ton OF esteem, and holiday buyers will find
in our establishment hundreds Of fitting
objects and articles, and at prices suited to
the scantest or most plethoric purse. We
mention some few articles-our imm ense

A LIBERTY STREET PROTEST.
Some Reasons Why Neither Side
Should be Paved Unless Both are.

Some Reasons Why Neither Side
Should be Paved Unless Both are.
Editor Morning NetOS: In yesterdays
issue of the MORNING NEWS appeared an
article entitled "Chat About the
Streets" which is evidently the views of
one or more of our energetic and patriotic
Committee on Streets and Lanes, and it is
very apparent that the longing desire to
pave Liberty street will prove more benefi-
cial to some of that committee especially
those with heavy trucks, and particularly
so if they should decide to pave only
one side, than it would be to
those who are only residents
or interested as property owners. In refer
ence to the "l1ick" being made by the south
side. it is an assured fact that that will be the
case, and with a decided vengeance, on ac-
count of the injustice of going into their
pockets for part of the tax for paving the
north side only, the south side not being
benefited thereby. The Council, believe,
have the right to improve any street.
1t will undoubtedly ruin the beauty of the
street to pave only one side of it, and will
make the south side a receptacle for all
kinds of trash, such as pieces of paper,
broken bottles, etc, and, further, width
of fifty feet will never receive the proper
attention from the force now controlled by
the said committee. A word for north side:
They do not propose, even being relieved
of one-third of the expense of paving
their side, to allow the paving to
be done without being heard from,
and their protest will be based upon the
fact that all traffic will be forced on their
side and prove more of a nuisance than
benefit. Last, but not least, the paving of
one side will certainly not improve the
saleabe value of property on the street.
Therefore we ask that the street be left as
it is. NORTH AND SOUTH.

The estimated yield the present season is
9, 4SO 900 bales which is lower by 25, 600 bales
than the commercial crop of 18S6-S7, but is
larger by $4,000 bales than the estimated
actual production of that year. AS COM
pared with the estimated yield in 1sS6-S7
increases are shown over last season in
North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, in the minor cotton
States, Virginia and Missouri, and in Indian
Territory. Decreases are shown in the
States of Georgia, Texas, Arkansas and
Tennessee. The largest actual increase is
shown in Mississippi, but South Carolina is
a very close second In the column of de-
creases Texas is most prominent, closely fol-
lowed by Arkansas and Tennessee.
Crop conditions in November were favor
able to charging the yield in several States.
The influence of the drought this year is
shown in reports as to the character Of the
lint, which is generally reported very clean,
but also very light, and short staple is COM
planned of. The question asked relative to
the financial condition of the planting in
terest has received gratifying responses. A
majority of the replies received indicate
that the planters are better off this year
than last.
Ellison, in his latest monthly report, dis
cuSses the various estimates of acreage and
yield per acre, and proves, to his own salts
faction, that they indicate a crop anywhere
from o,22o,OOU DaleS TO O.f30,OOO DaleS.
Summing up the whole subject he sees no
reason to believe that the crop will be less
than $500, 900 bales, while he does see rea-
sons for supposing it to be 6750,000 bales,
or over In discussing the outlook he says:
1--WE have shown that there is nothing in
the facts and analoges of the crop move
ment to justify the small estimates; r
the advance since the middle Of the month
will check the demand and reduce the rate
of consumption. 4 At all events it
would be prudent to watch the course of
receipts for a few weeks longer before adj
ding to the already inflated range of values.
One can understand an anxiety to get hold
of cotton when it has been ascertained that
the crop is SMALL but to rush prices to a
semi famine basis while the article is pour
ing into port in unheard of quantities, and
when all the ascertained facts favor large
yield, is beyond ones comprehension"

ELIAS COHEN NOT A LEPER.
The Doctor Who Attended the Alleged
Leper Has a Word to Say About Him.

The Doctor Who Attended the Alleged
Leper Has Word to Say About Him.
Editor Morning NeiOS.: As my diagnosis
of the case OF Elias Cohen has caused the
publication of the opinions Of several physi-
clans, I will ask you to allow me space in
your paper to show upon what grounds l
based my statement in Saturdays MORNING
NEWS:
Sometime last summer / treated this man
Cohen at st. Josephs Infimary fora milder,
but similar trouble He at that time
had his feet swollen, with a
small discoloration here and there He was
about in the last stage of starvation, and
covered with vermin, and did t look as if he
had had square meal for six months. With
the aid of good fumigation, nourishing diet
and general tonic treatment he was dis
charged with no swelling, no spots and in
comparatively good health If the man
has leprosy now he had it then, but the fact
of his being cured goes to show that he was
not so affected.
Now Cohen states, according to the Tires,
that he has had this trouble about one
week. That is rather sudden leprosy, as
the history of the disease tells us that the
patient has spots on him, suffers from
anpsthesia and other prodromal symptoms
for two or three years before he reaches the
commences with a scaly eruption around
the nails and fingers, and in the greater
number of cases it attacks the face first
Cohen's face was as well as anybodys.
One of the physicians states that he has
never seen blood-poisoning assume this
form. 1t would have given me much pleas
ure to have brought to the notice of the
doctor two cases which have treated with
in the last year, which resembled this case
very closely.
Dr. Duncan states that he has seen seventy
cases Of lepropsy at Havana. Now, with
out intending any discourtesy to DR.. Dun
can, it does seem to me that as he has seen
SO many cases he should have made posi-
the diagnosis in this instance believe it
to be a disease which when once seen can
never be forgotten.
The spots on Cohen were not, in my
opinion, leprosy spots. l have photographs
taken from living subjects in New York,
which show decided difference in their
appearance.
The Doctor, in his capacity as chairman
of the Health Committee, no doubt, an
foLLo,cing his olcn conUictionS, pursued the
proper course by sending the man out of
the city. B. P. OLIvERos, NJ. D.

A Bargain in Every Purchase,

Is the rule of the Famous" northeast cor
ner Congress and Whitaker streets. We
hold out no inducements in one article we
sell, and then charge more on another to
make up. Positively every purchase
made of us is bargain, whether it is in
Clothing, Gentlemen's furnishing Goods,
Hats, Trunks or Umbrellas. How can we
do 500 Plain enough Two of the firm are
constantly on the lookout in New York for
goods in our line, with the ready cash, buy
ing only at the lowest prices, manufactur-
ing all the clothing there thereby saving
to our patrons the retailers profit, which is
at least 81 80 to s. 90 on suit or overcoat.
Beside that, it enables us to have our cloth
ing made up and trimmed better than ordi-
narily done by manufacturers. as we make
them up for our own sale, and strive to have
our customers pleased, not only when they
purchase, but also in the wearing of the

age received, and can thank ourselves for
receiving so much of it, by giving the good

THE NATIONAL GAME.
What is Going on in the Base Ball
World.

World.
The Eastern League has collapsed.
Knouff thinks the new pitching rules will
benefit him.
Goldsby is reported to be after George
Strict for third base
Peak has been signed by Charleston. He
played second base for Chattanooga last
year
The championship pennant that is to fly
from the New Orleans flagstaff will be fifty
feet in length.
Charleston is moving along slowly, but
Manager Powell is going about matters
carefully and is getting together a good
nine. He has signed Hofford, who pitched
for Augusta in 1885, and alternated on that
team with the, since famous Kilroy, of Balti-
more, and Brown, who pitched for Augusta
in 1886, and led the pitchers of the Southern
League. The Earthquake City now has the
following men under contract: Hofford,
Brown, pitchers; Nicholas, Childs, catchers
Powell, first base; Peak, second base; Glenn,
left field; Carl, centre field; Williams, right
field. A third baseman and short stop
will complete the nine.
The ups and downs of base ball PLAYERS
life are aptly illustrated in the case of Tom
Sullivan, the pitcher who has just been
signed by the Birmingham club. Tom be-
longed to the Atlanta team in 1885, and did
very good work In the winter of 1886
he signed with Louisville, but after a few
games was released early in the spring, and
finally drifted into the Charleston club.
Here Tom was a conspicuous failure, and if
the writer is not mistaken, was given his
release before the end of the season. Then
Walter Goldsby, who has always been
good friend to Sullivan, picked him up and
carried him out to Topeka, where he pitched
last year, as if his life depended on it, Now
Sully is in demand, and Horace Phillips has
been after him for the Smoky City leaguers.

OVERHEARD AT SEA.

A Seaman on the Bark Valona Finds
a Watery Grave.
The British bark Valona, at Tybee from
Liverpool, made the passage across in TWEEN
ty-five days, which is an unprecedentedly
quick trip at this season of the year. Capt.
Andrews says that he experienced fair winds
from north-northeast to south-southeast,
with variable force, all the way across.
On the voyage he lost a sailor
overheard. Last Thursday, just
after dark, while in latitude 32', longi-
tude To-, William Birch, native of Liver
pool, fell Off the rail forward on the weather
side. He was passing the lead line forward
for the purpose of heaving the lead. There
was heavy wind blowing and a very
heavy sea running. The ship was hove to
under two lower topsails and was moving
very slowly.
After disappearing over the side Birch
was not seen. Life buoys and lines were
thrown overheard for him, but he was
heavily encumbered with sea boots aad oil
skins and probably sank as soon as they
filled. A boat could not be launched as it
could not live in the sea. The gale had
been blowing for two days and only abated
on Friday.

THE FUNERAL PUT OFF.
Why Martin Eiskamp's Burial was
Postponed.

Postponed.
The funeral of young Martin Eiskamp
was to have taken place at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The German Volunteers
turned out to attend it, but came back from
the house and it was then learned that the
funeral had been postponed becauseDr Elliott
had refused to give a burial permit.
Rumors of all sorts started flying, and one
of them was that the friends of the family
were gathered about the body and were
about to begin the services when Eiskamp
came TO life,
The startling nature of this report caused
an inquiry into the truth of the case, and
DR.. Elliott was seen. He was asked for the
facts in the case and he gave the following
statement: 1.-The boy went out hunting on
Friday afternoon and came home
very sick. His parents did not
send for me that night nor
until after breakfast Saturday morning.
They did not know that he was seriously
sick, and simply sent me word that he was
sick and to call and see him. / went to the
house about ii o'clock, and as soon as | en-
terae the room | saw that the young man
wa dangerously i'll with congestive fever.
! worked with him for more than an hour,
for he was in such a critical condition that
was afraid to intrust my directions to any
one else. l then went away, but came back
after a short while and worked with him
again. had then done all that could be
done and knew that few hours would de
eide his fate. | left him and returned at s
o'clock, when saw that he could not live
He died two hours later
''The funeral was fixed for Sunday after
noon, but did not think it wise to have the
burial so soon. Burials while persons are
alive almost always occur after cases of
sudden death or supposed death, and this
custom OF buryfng people within twenty
four hours after they die is sure, sooner or
later, to cause some one to be buried alive.
The only sure ngn of death is decomposi-
ton, and would allow no relative of mine
to be buried until that infallible sign
had given assurance of death. | refused TO
give the undertaken the permit, for the pro-
lection of Mr.. Eiskamp's people, in order
that no one might come to them in the
future and say: Your son was taken sick
Friday, he died on Saturday and you
had him in his grave ON Sunday. Now
how do you know that he was not
alivep | determined that | would go
first to his parents and urge them to post
pone the funeral. and if they insisted on a
burial then my duty would have been done,
and l would have given the permit | had
no reason to believe that the boy was not
dead. There was every sign of death,
and of death from congestive fever.
/ think that if l had not
seen him until after he died would have
known that he died from congestive
fever, but l am opposed to these hasty
burialsn
Mr.. and Mrs. Eiskamp acted on DR.
Elliot's suggestion and postponed the
funeral until 3 o'clock this afternoon.
